I needed to see where the Few Screws Are as I have taken the Top Off and the Timer Looks really Tight? I don't want to be passed from site to site paying all the time as I have ordered the Timer! (Please Explain Where They Are)

I couldn't find the diagram for your model, the right model number was TDC30P , but vendors had free pictures of the timer knob assembly. Generally, on Hotpoints machines pull the timer knob out and check between the console and the knob, there you should find a white clip. You will have to remove the clip so that the knob will comeoff. Once you take off the knob, remove the plastic plate with a flat screwdriver. Behind the plate you should see the screws keeping together the timer assembly.Give it a try and let me know

Hi joanne balla...
Sounds like the cyclic thermostat, thermostat, fuse (differnet names for the same part)..is faulty...replace it.
You will have to remove the back from the machine, look for the air tube going to the vent of your dryer and located on it will be the thermostat/s.
To test it, remove the wires fromthe two terminals and tape them together, then try running your dryer again and if it runs and heats ok then replace the cyclic thermostat/fuse.
Go to the following webpage to see the thermostat
Please take time to rate me

Float chamber is bunged up ,at the rear of the dryer at the bottom is a black plug / cap pull it off and stick a pipe cleaner or long cable tie metal coat hanger in it to clear the old wet fluff (have some kitchen roll handy as some water comes out with the wet fluff),other wise its a total strip down to clear the chamber out.

Is the water supply (for supplying cooling water to the condenser) switched on? If not, there's no real mechanism for removing heat from the machine, and it might reasonably be expected to shut itself down.
Once you've got water going to the inlet hose, you might check that the solenoid valve which shuts the water off when the machine is turned off hasn't failed, and that the jet through which the water squirts into the condenser (if that's separate in this model) isn't blocked.
